Mintage quantities of the euro coins and official euro collector folders

Here you find an up-to-date list of the mintage quantities of the euro coins. The table
consists of the 1 cent to 2 euro coins, the 2 euro commemorative coins, the official
collector folders in BU/FDC/BNC and PP/PROOF/BE/prooflike quality as well as official coincards,
minikits, folders, blisters and coin sets, that have been issued by the national mints. The mintage
quantities of the denominations 1 cent to 2 euro are the actual circulation numbers without
folders. To determine the total volume of coin issuance, the mintage figures of the collector
folders have to be added to the quantities of the euro coins. The information presented here
can help coin collectors to identify rare euro coins with low mintage quantities and to
determine the value of their collection. Almost all mintage figures have been acquired from
official sources.

Belgium 1999-2004: The Belgian Mint has published their final mintage quantities end of 2006. It cannot be excluded, that there will be changes for the years 2005 and 2006. The 1 Euro coin Belgium 2003 has been minted for circulation. There are definitively rolls of 10+50 cent 2003 euro coins, that come from remains of the BU folders. The 10 cent coin Belgium 2002 was originally planned only for the official collector folders. The low additional quantity of circulation coins explains, why some coins already have been found in circulation.

Germany 2003: The 10 cent 'F' 2003 coin can be found in circulation, but quite limited. In the meantime several original rolls have been sold on eBay for high prices. These rolls have been packed in October 2005.

In year 2004/2005 the following coins have been issued to circulation: 1+2+5 cent ADFGJ, 20 cent D, 2 euro ADJ. The following coins have been issued first in the years 2007-2009: 10 cent DFG, 50 cent AFG, 1 euro ADFG.

Ireland: The quantities of the euro coins Ireland denote the number of coins minted until 30/04/2012. All circulation quantities include those of the baby sets and Dublin Coin Fair Sets.

Luxemburg: In 2012 Luxemburg issued three different 2 euro commemorative coins. At the moment there are only 2 columns in the table. The mintage quantities of the 3rd 2 euro commemorative coin Luxemburg 2012 'Wedding of the Heir Grand-Duke Guillaume with the Countess Stéphanie de Lannoy': 500.000 pieces for circulation, 10.000 coin cards, 2.000 proof cases (single coin).

Austria 2003: The numbers of 10.000 resp. 150.000 pieces of 10 cent and 1 euro 2003 come from the euro coin catalogue of Gerhard Schön. It is proven that a few 1 euro coins 2003 have been found in circulation.

Monaco 2007: The 100.000 pieces 1 euro Monaco 2007 have been minted end of year 2007 and May 2008 (new common map design). An official collector product does not exist with that coin. The coins will be given into circulation through banks. Of the 100.000 pieces there exist 2.991 pieces without mintmarks (Pessac). The 2 euro coin Monaco 2009 will also be minted for circulation (250.000 pieces of which 143.326 pieces have been issued in year 2009 and 106.674 pieces will be issued in 2010). All coins Monaco 2009 will be issued in a BU folder (mintage 8.000, 5.000 pieces in year 2009, 3.000 pieces in year 2010).

Vatican 2002: The Vatican website lists a total number of 80.000 coins each for the year 2002. The 6.000 pieces include 1.000 or 2.000 starter packs (it's unsure which of these two numbers is the correct one). It is unknown whether the rest of the coins have been produced or what they have been used for.

The table now has 2 columns for the 2 euro commemorative coins, because some countries will issue two different 2 euro special coins. A description can be viewed by holding the mouse over the i-symbol for a while.
